INSPECTION
A thorough inspection should be carried out prior
to usage, storage or transportation to ensure the
completeness and condition of the hand pump.
Inspection should include:
• visual inspection of the outer parts of the hand
pump, checking for obvious damage, degradation
or missing parts.
• visual inspection of the couplers and gauges,
checking for obvious damage and degradation.
WARNING:
Periodic inspections and
maintenance of ATEX certified equipment are
essential in order to comply with legal
requirements and avoid unsafe operation.

CLEANING
To lightly clean the pump, wipe gently with a damp
cloth.
If more thorough cleaning is required (for example
following immersion in water) carry out the following
cleaning procedure:
• strip the tool down, observing the schematics in
section 8
• clean the components using detergent, following
the manufacturer’s guidelines
• rinse the components to remove traces of
detergent
• dry the component thoroughly
Inspect, service and lubricate the tool immediately
after the cleaning process.

MAINTENANCE
Replace missing, worn or damaged parts. Use only
genuine Equalizer parts from approved distributors
or service centres. Equalizer parts have been

If topping or replacing hydraulic oil as part of a
service, use only premium quality hydraulic oil of the
grade 15 cSt.
